The Twenty-Seven Percent is Wrong

I recently saw this on Twitter:  Twenty-seven percent of Americans don't believe that the U.S.A. put a man on the moon.  What?

Truth is determined by what happened, not by what someone thinks happened. There is a need for an objective record.  Keep holding to the standard.

If the percentage of disagreement climbs, it doesn't mean the facts changed.  It means more people have chosen to ignore truth.

The longer that time passes, the more that truth must be reinforced.  What is not reinforced will be reinterpreted.  What is reinterpreted will be marginalized.

It is harder to believe the lie than to believe the truth.  To believe the lie, you must discredit the eyewitness.  If we didn't put a man on the moon, then what -- NASA lied and Neil Armstrong was a fraud?  The moon walk on July 20, 1969 neer happened?  Did Apollo 11 happen?

Some people find their identity in controversy.  Avoid them.
